People are full of pirates

Chapter 229 Nami and Nuoqigao [Part [-]]

Aokiji's shock is inevitable.

After all, when we first met, Nuo Xia was only a little over [-] meters tall, and even though he had been growing slowly since then, he still had to stand on tiptoe when hugging Taotu.

Qingzhi swears that when he confessed his love at the conferring ceremony, he never secretly laughed out loud when he saw Nuo Xia standing on tiptoe.

Because he pinched his thigh at that time.

But now... what the hell is this?

This guy's height is already much taller than his afro, if he is a woman, if he wants to kiss this kid, he has to stand on tiptoe...

Nuo Xia noticed Qingzhi's dazed look.

He laughed dumbfounded, feeling light in his heart.

Speaking of which, when he first returned to Xihai, his height was [-] meters, and then he grew for a while, then stagnated, and he has not grown at all for more than a month.

Nuo Xia estimates that this is the limit of his height, and his current basic physical data is also fixed here:

Height: 3.40 meters.

Weight: 275 kg.

If he can ascend to the position of general in the future, there is no doubt that he will be the tallest and most slender among the three generals.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, he and Aokiji parted at the gate of the building.

After that, Nuo Xia went to the logistics department first, and received a house in the residential area behind the headquarters.

This benefit was actually something he could receive after graduating from the elite camp and becoming a major general. However, he was stationed in Xihai before, so there was no need for it.

And now that he is left in the headquarters by his superiors, it is necessary to have a residence that is completely his own. After all, he is not married yet, so he can't stay in Taotu's house all the time.

The house is a small two-story villa with a garden of more than [-] square meters. It is spacious yet exquisite, and the decoration style suits Nuo Xia's taste.

He looked left, turned right, and was quite satisfied, so he made a decision on the spot.

After sending off the escorts from the logistics department, and just as they were about to check in with their bags, they suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching the apartment next door——

Garp, who had just finished his lunch, burped his stomach and pushed open the courtyard door leisurely.

"..."

The two looked at each other through the fence, and froze in place at the same time.

"Hahahahaha!"

Garp came to his senses first, and burst out laughing wildly, "Hey, hey, is there such a coincidence! Nuo Xia! From now on, you and this old man will be neighbors!"

"...It's a bit of a coincidence, but I remember your previous residence, isn't it here?" Nuo Xia was a little speechless, "When did you move here?"

He originally planned to spend some time in the evening to visit his neighbors and get to know each other, but he didn't expect it to be this old man, um...it saved his energy.

"The previous house was taken decades ago, it was too small..." Garp scratched his head, "It didn't matter if I lived alone before, but now, it's a bit crowded to live there..."

What does this mean?
Could it be... Nuo Xia suddenly realized something, and looked towards the front of the house along the cobblestone path of the Garp's house.

I happened to see a little boy with black hair lying on the glass and looking curiously at this side.

It's Ace.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but this little guy has grown up a lot, at least he doesn't have a pacifier anymore.

"Why does this little guy live with you?" Nuo Xia looked away and asked in confusion, "Where is Lieutenant General Zhizi?"

"I have been dispatched to the New World, and the situation over there is getting more and more complicated, and a resourceful high-level executive is needed to sit in charge. In addition, that kid Sakaski is good at fighting, but his personality is too reckless and irritable. At a time like this, someone has to give him a hand."

Garp grinned, "The only ones who can take care of both are Xiaohe and Zhizi."

Nuo Xia immediately understood.

"So Lieutenant General Zhizi entrusted Astor to you before he left?"

Nuo Xia rubbed her temples speechlessly, and muttered in a low voice, "It's thanks to her old man for being able to relax..."

"Huh? The old man heard it, brat!"

Garp was furious, and punched Nuo Xia on the head, "Don't underestimate people, don't think that I can't take care of children when I'm old, I have a lot of experience in raising children to become talents!"

Parenting?

Nuo Xia, who was hit on the head by an iron fist but still acted as if nothing had happened, suddenly twitched the corners of his eyes slightly.

Well, you are indeed experienced enough in this field...

Mingming's original intention was to train future generations to become excellent navies.

As a result, the son became the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the grandson clamored to become the Pirate King every day, and the grandson went straight to Whitebeard as his son...

This method of education, I am afraid that there is a big problem.

"Fortunately, Lieutenant General Zhizi is only stationed in the New World temporarily, and he will be able to come back to take over after all..."

Nuo Xia thought silently in her heart, no longer entangled with this topic, thought for a while, then lowered her voice a little, and asked:
"Mr. Garp, do they know the identity of Ace, General Sengoku and Marshal Kong?"

"Not yet." Garp shook his head. "It's okay to talk about the Warring States period. Marshal Kong... Sometimes I can't figure out what he's thinking. It's better to keep Ace's identity a secret."

"The last time I saw Ace, I thought so too."

Nuo Xia glanced at the cute little boy behind the window again, and said softly, "But then I thought about it carefully, maybe... making Ace's identity known to the public may not be a good thing?"

"Eh?"

Garp was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes became thoughtful, "...What do you mean by that?"

"Positive publicity." Nuo Xiayi said simply, "Roger is the pirate who created the era of great piracy, and the level of pirates in the sea today is far greater than in the past, and he is inseparable from him."

"But what if the world knows that his son actually became a navy in the end?"

Nuo Xia looked directly into Garp's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The headquarters and the world government don't need to promote much propaganda. The existence of "Navy Ace" is the best satire on that guy Roger. It can not only hit those pirates who dream of the so-called great secret treasure, but also increase the morale of our navy..."

"The old man understands what you mean."

Garp raised his hand to interrupt him, shook his head and said, "It's a good suggestion, but unfortunately, I will never accept it."

"..." Nuo Xia was slightly stunned, "Why? Isn't this way multiple things can be achieved in one fell swoop, and everyone is happy?"

"But that kid won't like it!"

Karp pointed to the small figure behind the glass, and grinned, "To make it public will only make that kid be pointed at since he was a child, and become a strange person in the eyes of his peers, growing up in the shadows and exclusion. !"

"Why should innocent children bear the responsibility of the previous generation?"

"Nuo Xia, let me ask you, if you are the blood of One Piece, but you yourself became a navy, what kind of environment did you live in when you were young? Growing up under such circumstances, you can really become an excellent and qualified the Navy?"

"..."

Looking at Garp's piercing eyes, Nuo Xia fell silent.

In his previous life, he had no father and no mother, he was isolated and excluded when he was young, how terrifying was the bullying and violence from his peers... He has experienced it himself, so he is naturally very clear.

"I understand."

After a long time, Nuo Xia sighed softly, and said to Garp, "It's because I didn't think carefully, so you just pretend that I didn't mention what I said just now, and let the status quo continue, and let that little guy..."

Looking at the glass, Ace had already climbed onto the window sill, smiling sillyly at him, Nuo Xia was dumbfounded, "Just be happy like this, and spend your childhood carefree."

Cap stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder with a relieved smile.

———————
All afternoon, Nuo Xia was busy cleaning the room and buying furniture.

When everything was done, it was completely dark. His stomach was growling and he went to the restaurant immediately, only to run into the friends from the elite camp.

"Hey... Nuo... Nuo Xia?"

"Idiot, I'm going to call Lieutenant General Nuo Xia!"

When the old people reunited, at the beginning, because of the huge difference in their identities, except for Luo Xindi, the other students were still a little restrained.

But Nuo Xia was Nuo Xia after all, and under the infection of his friendly smile, the atmosphere soon became warm and cheerful again.

Everyone talked about everything, and they chatted until eight or nine o'clock in the night before saying goodbye to each other.

Before parting, Luo Nandi secretly approached Nuo Xia alone, and told him excitedly that he had completed registration preparations and was about to participate in the graduation assessment at the end of the year.

"Great."

Nuo Xia hammered his chest hard, and encouraged him, "Keep up, little Rossi, with your strength, as long as you don't get stage fright, you will be at least a lieutenant colonel when you are awarded the title."

"It's not that exaggerated. I, Brother Nuoxia, you, and Shiliu are all incomparable..."

Luo Xidi scratched her head in embarrassment, and laughed, "I'm very happy to have a major. Oh yes, the conferring ceremony will be held at that time. Brother Nuo Xia, you must come and see it!"

"Don't worry, no matter how busy you are, I will make time."

Nuo Xia also smiled.

He watched Luo Xidi and others wave away, and he was about to turn around and go home to rest, but at this moment, an extremely strong burning pain suddenly came from between his eyebrows...

This is the warning reminder of the special life card.

Nuo Xia's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately opened the system panel, looking at the life card in the backpack column, a new screen popped up to remind him.

I saw that the six sub-cards distributed, the one belonging to Bermel, were burning at a speed visible to the naked eye...

what happened?

Nuo Xia's gaze immediately turned cold. Didn't Bermer already eat the rusty fruit he gave and became a devil fruit capable user?
How could he encounter a life-threatening threat in a place like the East China Sea?

Too late to think about it.

Seeing that the sky was dark and there was no one around, Nuo Xia immediately dodged into the small woods behind the restaurant, and at the same time activated the teleportation function of the life card instantly with a thought.

———————
East China Sea, Gargas Island.

This place was originally a prosperous island for commerce, but since it was jointly occupied by two pirate groups passing by here three days ago, it has become an out-and-out hell on earth.

The pirates plundered everywhere, wantonly indulged their desires, countless families were broken, corpses lay everywhere, houses were burned down, and the bustling streets were turned into ruins...

It was under such circumstances that the warships of the 16th Branch rushed to the rescue, and a protracted battle broke out with these two big pirate groups.

The battle was extremely fierce, and more than [-] of the more than [-] naval soldiers died or were seriously injured.

If it wasn't for Bermer, who was a second lieutenant of the navy, to stop the two pirate captains of the opponent alone, and defeat each other with difficulty in a bitter battle that lasted for several hours, the number of casualties would have at least doubled.

And after the great battle, the sky also darkened, dark clouds piled up, and light rain began to fall, as if silently mourning for the heroic souls who died on the ground...

Under the rain, Bermel clutched his bloody shoulder wound, limped and walked among the ruins with difficulty.

There is no time to bandage and heal her wounds. Before the rain becomes heavier, she must try her best to rescue as many surviving people as possible from the ruins with her comrades in robes...

"Hello, Belmer!"

A familiar sea soldier couldn't help but persuade her, "You've done enough just now, go take a rest, and leave the rest to us!"

"How about that!"

The girl with the maroon ponytail glared at the guy first, then grinned, "Don't worry, I'm fine...Come on, give me the shovel!"

"You guy..."

The comrades-in-arms knew that she was stubborn and could not be persuaded, so they had to shovel the extra engineers and throw them away.

"Thanks!"

Bermel laughed boldly, and when she turned her back, she couldn't help but gasped in pain. She gritted her teeth, pushed back her sleeves, picked up the engineering shovel, and joined the ranks of digging and rescue.

Even though she was seriously injured, compared to other sailors, her efficiency was still much higher, not only because of her greater strength than ordinary people, when she encountered large metal obstacles, she could also use the rusty fruit's ability to move It is easily resolved.

After fighting for half an hour, she rescued more than a dozen trapped people from the ruins, watched the sailors off, carried them onto stretchers, and sent them to the hands of the medical staff.

At this time, her physical strength had almost reached its limit, and everything in front of her eyes had become somewhat blurred.

They should have been rescued almost...

The girl sat down against the broken wall, tiredness flooded in like a tide, making it really difficult for her to persevere.

Perhaps it is indeed time to lie down and rest for a while?
Her body gradually tilted unconsciously, and she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, when suddenly, a loud cry of a baby came to her ears...
